Ive lifted the painting standard on these recruits. They were all baseprimed and had brown uniforms but not mutch more, and they have been in this level of painting for years... About time to give these infantrymen some love.
So now they look really good instead of being only being placed on the gaming table in shame..
Most of these miniatures are from back in the days when Forge World sold the infantry in an Gorgon super heavy transport on long strips. I guess they stopped selling these when they noticed people starting cutting up the strips to get real cheap infantry.
I remembering these as being cheaper then the but ugly plastic Cadians. Ahh good times... I bought a lot of those Gorgon transported infantry kits.
The number just ended up being 34 in this batch because I apparently had 34 in on small box, so thats why that number.
Here is an blogpost from 2014 when it apparently costed £53,5 to get a pack and with some work you could get something like 50-55 guardsmen out of it.
Ah... good times....

I just love the look of them and I think I will have to paint up more of my Death Korps collection to this standard.
Nicely done 👍
